Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We travelled on bicycles. Were provided with a nice bike-parking in the garage of the hostel. The staff at the reception was extremely helpful. The room was very clean. The area around the hostel is very safe with a police station located just on another side of the road. It's a 4 minutes walk to the lake and 20 minutes to the city Cathedral. The breakfast was included in the room price and was very good.

    Opposite train station - so close we were on a train within 15 mins of waking up and packing. Easy to get to with luggage. Great location to walk from and reach the lake and restaurants and bars around town. Comfortable, modern generic but functional rooms with excellent blackout blinds and good beds. Room was quiet despite being so central. Reception is modern, fast checkin/out, and with knowledgeable and helpful staff. It felt very safe. You get a free travel card for Geneva with the hotel stay.

    The free shuttle from the airport to the hotel was helpful either end of our overnight stay. The communal reception-area seemed in a very good state. The room was of a higher standard than I had expected, the facilities surpassed our expectations based on this cheap stay. Would definitely use again for a close-proximity stay to the airport.

    I did not expect so much facilities in a dormitory hostel that were included in my stay. The price is very cheap including breakfast, free transport card and Wi-Fi
